“I am reporting a safety issue with my 2019 Subaru Legacy that hesitates and nearly stalls when accelerating from a stop and is now undriveable due to stalling and shaking. I bought the car new from AutoNation Subaru Carlsbad in 2019. It has about 65,000 miles and I have driven it less than 2,000 miles since its last dealer visit in August 2025. Since around August 2025, the car has intermittently lost power under light acceleration from a stop or low speed, especially while pulling into or through intersections. …”
NHTSA complaint #11701769, filed 2025-11“I took my Subaru Legacy to the little rock arkansas Subaru dealership to service a recall on my fuel tank. While there the service manager refused to replace parts listed on the TSB. When I contacted Subaru they stated a new TSB was issued the day before my recall was completed not requiring those steps, that the updated TSB would not be public, would not provide any information about the new TSB and that they were closing my complaint.”
NHTSA complaint #11374056, filed 2020-11“Fuel Pump failed. Available for inspection upon request. Vehicle shut down near a busy intersection. There were no warnings, just failed while leaving a restaurant.”
